Big O Tires at 1106 Garnet Ave, San Diego, CA 92109 is Pacific Beach's franchise location of the national tire and auto service chain founded in 1962 by nine independent dealers who broke away from OK Rubber Welders to form a cooperative in Colorado. The shop sits near the intersection of Garnet and Haines, within walking distance of Midas along Pacific Beach's main commercial strip, giving drivers easy access to multiple service quotes without crossing town. Now a subsidiary of TBC Corporation under Sumitomo Corporation of Americas, Big O operates more than 450 independently owned stores across 25 states. The Pacific Beach shop stocks tires from major manufacturers including Michelin, BFGoodrich, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Goodyear, Firestone, Cooper, Hankook, and Uniroyal alongside the proprietary Big O brand, and carries a 12-month, 12,000-mile national service warranty on most repairs. Beyond tires, technicians here handle oil changes with synthetic blend or full synthetic motor oil, brake inspections and rotor resurfacing, wheel alignments, suspension and steering work, air conditioning service, battery testing, and transmission maintenance. The store offers free alignment checks and bilingual service in English and Spanish. Hours run Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., giving it some of the widest weekend availability among Pacific Beach auto shops. Google reviewers frequently mention staff member Jesus for his product knowledge and professionalism, and CARFAX-verified reviews describe the Garnet Avenue location as having a neighborhood-shop feel with competitive pricing on tire packages. Drivers who also need specialized brake or alignment work beyond tires can head a few blocks east on Garnet to BeeLine Brake, Alignment and Auto Repair, a family-owned shop operating on the same corridor since 1947. Appointments are recommended but walk-ins are accepted during regular business hours.
